Apparently this sextant normally comes
with a whole horizon mirror, to enable use of the double prism lens. Could you
elaborate a little more on your mirror – eg;
is it an optional extra from C&P, if not where did it come from?
thanks in advance

C&P Horizon Ultra - Mike H Special!
The Horizon Ultra comes with one on the horizon glass I think. I asked for an
extra to be added on the index mirror. The horizon glass is also different. A
vertical strip down the centre has quartz coating so that it's a "whole
horizon" style mirror and the outsides are clear glass - works
brilliantly. Sheer indulgence but it's good!
